Consider a continuous-time signal x(t) defined by x(t) = 0 for |t| > 1, and x(t) = 1 - |t| for |t| ≤ 1. Let the Fourier transform of x(t) be defined as \(X(ω)=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t) e^{-jω t}dt\). The maximum magnitude of X(ω) is _____

Given,

x(t) = 0 for |t| > 1

x(t) = 1 - |t| for |t| ≤ 1

The waveform of function can be drawn as,

Hence, given function is triangular function,

\(x\left( t \right) = ATri\left( t \right)\)

From standered Fourier transform,

If \(x\left( t \right) = ATri\left( {\frac{t}{T}} \right)\)

Fourier transform of x(t)  is given by

\(X\left( \omega \right) = ATs{a^2}\left( {\frac{{\omega T}}{2}} \right)\)

A = T = 1

\(X\left( \omega \right) = s{a^2}\left( {\frac{\omega }{2}} \right)\)

From the waveform of function,

\(X\left( \omega \right){\left. \right|_{peak}} = X\left( 0 \right) = s{a^2}\left( {\frac{0}{2}} \right) = 1\)

Therefore, the peak value of the sampling function occurs at (ω = 0).

The maximum magnitude (peak) of X(ω) will be 1.
